OECD Identifies Hotspots Facing Water Risks for Agriculture

A new assessment of agricultural water risks showed that if no
mitigation or policy actions were taken, challenges could be expected to
grow incrementally in areas like China, India and the United States. Risks were
identified as those associated with water shortage, flooding, climate
variability and water quality risks. Farmers, agro food companies, and
governments are all named as key players to carry out the necessary actions to
ensure that these risks are properly addressed.
